Later I tested a MX5 which was very fun but just too small for me, I don’t have an inch in any direction. Funny enough my legs were more comfortable with no hard points and I fit in the car, but my head was 1 inch form the roof and it would be impossible to have worn a jacket.
I had owned a S2000 for 6 years but my right thigh developed a numb spot due to resting on the center tunnel, this didn’t happen all at once but over the years so that I began to put a foam pad to keep my thigh from contacting the center tunnel, I maybe could have get different seats but in the end just sold the car.
I don’t want to repeat the same with BRZ if the right knee area is going to be a big issue.
Has anyone found this to be any improvements in the newer car?

How tall are you? I’m 6’2 and drove and fit in new RF somehow but yeah, need more room! I found place here that will help me select and install bucket seat in Miata to give more room, I wouldn’t do that in new RF but in NC I’m definitely open to that. I’ll be testing BRZ soon.
